Good one about D's eyes being like x-ray eyes. It was also said that D
saw right through Riddle while he was at Hogwarts (can't remember which
book). Dumbledore also *knew* that Hagrid had not opened the chamber,
but there was no way he could prove it. 

What would Harry's power be? Perhaps able to direct his magic without
having to use his wand (like someone else suggested?). Very interesting.
Harry's going to end up having the upper-hand in the final battle with
V. After discussing Rowling creativity, I think she'll be coming up with
something other than the "Harry will have to die to kill V because of
the blood link." So Harry's going to find a different way to Whack V
(and hopefully not himself in the process). Perhaps it has something to
do with a old magic? Lily was able to use old magic to protect Harry,
and I always envisioned her stooping over Harry while V was on his way,
and her doing some incantation while staring directly into Harry's eyes.
I didn't imagine her with a wand, so she could've used her eyes to
direct the charm.
